other useful data types:

vec3, vec4, mat3, mat4 and quat types with lots of useful functions for
3d graphics (like mat4.looakAt(pos, target, up) or mat3.toEulerXYZ())
there are other libs with similar types and functions:
cgkit (http://cgkit.sourceforge
with the current syntax L[i:i+1] returns [L[i]], with nxlist it returns
L[i+1] if i<0.
L=range(10)
L[1:2]==[L[1]]==[1]
L[-2:-1]==[L[-2]]==[8]
L=nxlist(range(10))
L[1:2]==[L[1]]==[1]
L[-2:-1]==[L[-1]]==[9] # not [L[-2]]
